No, it is not.

Let's add a couple of variables to the previously-offered pseudo-code to
see if things become more clear:

GdkPixmap *pixmap = gdk_pixmap_new(NULL, width, height, depth);
cairo_t *cr = gdk_cairo_create(pixmap);
cairo_set_source_surface(cr, surface);
cairo_paint(cr);
cairo_destroy(cr);
GdkPixbuf *pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable(NULL, pixmap, NULL,
		0, 0, 0, 0, width, height);

Of course, none of that code is compiled at all, and I'm sure it's
missing some ugly typecasting macros, (GDK_DRAWABLE(pixmap) perhaps?).
But hopefully it's helpful,

-Carl (happy that the cairo functions all have relatively few
parameters)
